The moment you find out that one of the biggest hits of the 80s didn’t have a bass track
When Doves Cry by Prince. My mind is blown.

Yeah that’s crazy isn’t it. I guess his (superb) vocal is filling any void. Plus some well placed toms.
I saw an interview somewhere, where someone involved with the sessions said he added a bass line, did another bunch of stuff and then took the bass line out again at the end.
Part of Prince’s genius was that what isn’t there is as important as what is, or, as I once opined to a friend (possibly after some alcohol) “the holes are in all the right places”.
Yeah and I'm sure the drums were heavily processed. The Linn LM-1 I think?
No doubt about it. Still the best drum machine of all time. Dat snare. He liked using a flanger on drums quite a bit.
There also isn’t a bass part in Kiss
Which is just crazy considering how funky that track is. That’s a difficult thing to pull off.
When you are as good a rhythm guitar player as Prince…
Looking back at his work, he seems to have been pretty aware of the trap of repeating oneself or doing the obvious. He seems to have said to himself ”what can I do differently in this song”.
